The Arkansas Hot Springs are Radio-Active 



r"^J ATURE was indeed most generous when she created the health- 
l^^l restoring thermal waters that flow from the foot-hills of the 
1^1 Ozarks. and it is no wonder the United States Government in 
^^^J 1832 formed a reservation of the springs and surrounding coun- 
try, setting them apart as a "National Park and Sanitarium" for all 
time. This was done after an investigation by Congress demonstrated 
that the waters were beneficial for many of the ailments that humanity 
is heir to, and too great a public blessing to become a monopoly in the 
hands of individuals. 

Only in the past few years, however, have the medicinal properties 
in the waters of the now world-renoxvned "ARKANSAS HOT 



SPRINGS" been fully ascertained. This was because chemists until re- 
cently knew little of RADIO-ACTIVE waters, and the therapeutic value 
of baths when the water contains this rare element in gaseous form. 

The Government employed the noted chemist, Dr. B. B. Boltwood, 
of New Haven, Conn., to make a thorough investigation of the hot 
springs located on the U. S. Government Reservation here. His report, 
on file at the Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C, contains 
several hundred pages, and is too exhaustive to present in this Guide. 
but the result of this investigation shows conclusively that the WATERS 
OF THE HOT SPRINGS ON THE GOVERNMENT RESERVATION 
ARE ALL RADIO-ACTIVE TO A MARKED DEGREE.

"SEE AMERICA FIRST" 

CUTTER'S OFFICIAL GUIDE TO HOT SPRINGS 

America's Greatest Health and Pleasure Resort 

Owned and Operated by the United States Government. "The Health Resort with a National Baching." 



Published by Chas. Cutter & Son. 



EdileJ and Compiled hij John Milton Cutler. 



Early History 



EESOTO and his army, or exploring party, were the 
first white men to visit these Hot Springs. History 
, faintly refers to their sojourn here in the winter of 

1.S41--IJ. A French history, from which Judge U. M. Rose, 
of Little Rock, kindly furnished the writer with a translation 
for publication in his first work on Hot Springs (1874), 
stated the fact that DeSoto and his men spent the winter of 
I54i-_|2 at Hot Lakes. As there are no hot lakes in this part 
of America, and no other hot springs, it is readily conceded 
that this is the place referred to. Another good reason for 
this conclusion is because De.Soto died within about two hun- 
dred miles of Hot Springs, near a point where the line divid- 
ing the States of Arkansas and Louisiana crosses the Mississ- 
ippi River. This was on May 21, 1542, only a few weeks 
after leaving Hot Springs. 

Soon after the Louisiana Purchase by President Thomas 
Jefferson, in 1804, he sent the exploring party of Hunter and 
Dunbar to the Hot Springs for the purpose of making an 
examination of the hot waters and the surrounding country. 
The only improvements they found were split board huts and 
a log cabin which had been built by French trappers in the 
fall of 1800. They took the temperature of the hot springs 
and examined the surrounding mountains and cold mineral 
springs.

U. S. Government Control 

j|HE LInitcd States Government made a reservation of 
the springs and surrounding country and took posses- 
sion of them in 1S32, setting them apart as a "National 
Park and Sanitarium for all time." 

The bath houses pay a license to the Government for the 
use of the water, and all the revenue derived from this source 
and from other rentals is spent in improving the reservation. 
An elaborate system of parks has been laid out, on the moun- 
tains and in the valleys; fifteen miles of beautiful moun- 
tain drives and foot-paths have been constructed, marble hot 
water drinking fountains have been erected, flowers and 
shrubbery have been planted, and all for the free enjoyment 
and benefit of the people of the whole country. Over a half 
million dollars have been spent by the Government in this 
manner. 

Hot Springs is the seat of the general hospital of the 
Army and Navy, where the Government sends those of both 
branches of the service too sick for treatment at its ordinary 
hospitals. Additional quarters are being provided, and a 
large new building is now under construction for the accom- 
modation of soldiers needing treatment. A new free bath 
house is contemplated in the near future, and other extensive 
improvements, larger and more beautiful than any that have 
been made. 



The Hot Springs 



nllF.RE are forty-four liot springs vvitli an average tem- 
l)erature of 135° Falirenheit, the hottest being 157". 
They discharge about 800,000 gallons per day, and are 

all located on the U. S. Government Reservation. 

The Character and Action of the Waters 

The source of the heat is believed to be great masses of 
igneous rock intruded in the earth's crust by volcanic agen- 
cies. Deep-seated waters converted into vapors by contact 
with this heated mass probably ascend through fissures 
toward the surface where they meet cold springs, which are 
luated by the vapors. 

The waters are radio-active in a marked degree, and to 
the presence of this rare element in gaseous form is now 
.generally attributed their salutary effects. The baths create 
a reaction accompanied by an elevation of body temperature, 
accelerated heart action with diminished blood pressure in 
the arteries, and a stimulation of the nutritive changes in the 
tissue cells, especially those composing the organs of elimina- 
tiim and those concerned in the formation of the blood. 

Tlie hot waters may reasonably be expected to give relief 
in the following conditions : In gout or rheumatism after the 
acute or inflammatory stage; in neuralgia when dependent 
upon gout, rheumatism, malaria, or metallic poisoning ; in the 
early stages of chronic Bright's disease; in catarrhal condi- 
tions of the gall bladder ; in certain forms of disease of the 
pelvic organs, and in sterility in women ; in chronic malaria, 
alcoholism, and drug addictions; in many chronic skin dis- 
eases ; in some forms of anemia ; in syphilis ; in gonorrheal 
rheumatism ; in toxemias and conditions of defective elimina- 
tion; and in some forms of cardiovascular disease with in- 
creased tension in the blood vessels. 

The baths are contraindicated in tuberculosis of the throat 
and lungs and in all forms of cancer. 



Government Analysis of the Water 

The United States Government made an analysis of the 
forty-four hot springs in the year 1903. They were all very 
nearly alike, and below is shown that of the Big Iron Spring, 
the largest of the group. 

Temperature. 147° ; daily flow, — 201,600 gallons. 

Gases (number of cubic centimeters per liter at o degree 
C. 760 mm. pressure). — Nitrogen, 8.80; oxygen. 3.79; carbon 
dioxide (free), 6.92; in combination, 30.02; hydrogen sul- 
phide, none.

The Bath Houses 

Tliere are twenty pay bath houses operated under rules 
and regulations approved by the Secretary of the Interior 
Ten are on the reservation at the base of Hot Springs Moun- 
tain, constituting what is known as ''Bath House Row," and 
ten are located at various points in the city. Ten are in con- 
nection with hotels, hospitals, or sanitoria. The water is the 
same in all, but the prices charged for the baths vary in the 
different houses in accordance with the equipments and ac- 
commodations furnished. The rates are fixed in each in- 
stance by the Secretary of the Interior.

America's Greatest Health Sanitarium 

OT SPRINGS has long been recognized as America- 
i^iralcst hcallli resort, while as a pleasure resort it ha- 

_ imicli to recommend it. 

\s a health sanitarium the "Arkansas Hot Springs" rank 
with the most noted resorts of European countries. 

The United States Government's recognition of the virtues 
of the WOXDF.RFUL R.A.DIO-.'\CTIVE HOT W.-\TERS, 
and the ever-increasing stream of health seekers proclaim the 
greatness of its health-giving baths. 

The topography of Hot Springs is very similar to that of 
Carlsbad, Germany, while the pine-clad foot-hills of the Ozarks 
afford both healthful exercise and inspiring scenery. The 
Government has converted the hills into parks with model 
roads and foot-paths, and will in the near future further 
beautify the Reservation. 

During the past two years there have been erected 
four bathing establishments that will take rank with the 
finest and most modern in the world, and Hot Springs 
can boast of some of the most modern and commodious 
hotels in America. The Sisters of Mercy conduct the 
St. Joseph Infirmary here, while the I. O. B. B. Society 
have erected a Leo N. Levi Memorial Hospital. This city 
offers every advantage, both as to climate and curative waters, 
for the erection of a sanatorium on the most colossal scale, 
and it is rumored that one of this nature will be erected in 
the near future. Hot Springs is strictly a cosmopolitan city, 
and is advancing rapidly along all civic lines. The residence 
part of the city, which was visited by such a disastrous fire 
on Sept 5th, 1913, has been almost rebuilt, with a larger and 
better class of residences and apartments, mostly of brick, 
while several churches and a high school are now under 
course of construction at a cost in all of over one million 
dollars, .\bout half a million dollars have been spent for 
new buildings during the past year in other parts of the citj-.

Registered Physicians 

IE only registered physicians who are allowed to pre- 
scribe the waters of the hot springs are those licensed 
practitiorcrs of the State of Arkansas who have been 
examined by a Federal board of medical examiners appointed 
by the Secretary of the Interior. Visitors are warned that 
physicians who have not passed the Federal board and been 
registered in the superintendent's office, are not permitted tn 
make use of the baths in the treatment of their patients. This 
rule is for the protection of visitors who, if they desire the 
baths, should, before employing a physician, procure from 
the Superintendent of the Reservation a list of the qualified 
practitioners. 

While the baths may be taken without the advice of a phy- 
sician by procuring a permit at the various bath houses, this 
practise is not recommended. Patients ivho assume to de- 
termine the nature of their ailments, and to prescribe for 
themselves, often fail to obtain the desired relief. The ^caters 
are not beneficial in all diseases and in some are harmful. It 
is a useless expenditure of time and money to take the baths 
for a disease that zcill not be benefited by them and such pro- 
cedure can result only in delaying proper treatment. 

Physicians' office fees are from $25 a month up, according 
to the treatment required ; physical examination and bathing 
directions only, $5. 

Visitors are advised for their ozi-n protection that soliciting 
for hotels, boarding-houses, or doctors on the trains running 
into Hot Springs is in znolation of law, and are warned against 
heeding the advice of irresponsible and unknown persons. 

In the interest of the public it has been found necessary to 
prohibit the bathing of anyone stopping at a hotel or board- 
ing-house in which the solicitation of patronage for doctors 
is allowed. 



A Partial List of Registered Physicians 

The following is a partial list of the resident physicians 
who are registered at the U. S. Superintendent's office and 
dnly authorized by the U. S. Government to prescribe the 
Hot Springs baths. The complete list can be obtained at

The City of Hot Springs 



|()T SPRINGS, a cosmopolitan city of 15,000 resident 
Papulation, is located fifty-five miles west of Little 
Rock, the State Capital and metropolis of Arkansas. It 
IS lucatcd on the pine-clad foot-liills of the Ozarks, at an ele- 
vation of from six hundred to twelve hundred feet above sea 
level. On account of this elevation, the complete sewerage 
and drainage systems and well-paved streets. Hot Springs 
boasts of the lowest death-rate of any city in the United 
States. There is a good police and fire department, four 
banks, two daily papers, nineteen churches and ten school 
buildings. Central Avenue, the principal business street, has 
many modern stores representing all lines of business, with 
well-selected stocks, while several commodious office build-

ings have been erected. The city is supplied with natural 
gas, electric lights and a modern water works system, also 
street car service throughout the city and to different points 
of interest, and contemplates extending to the Country Club 
and Golf Links at an early date. 

While Hot Springs, like all other cities in the State, has 
been backward in civic improvements because of adverse laws 
which forbid the issuing of bonds for municipal improve- 
ments or highways, this law has been amended so that all 
cities of the first class can now issue bonds, and this city will 
in the future advance along this line, and more paved streets 
and model roads will be in order, while the Government in- 
tends to do her part in making this resort second to none in 
the world. 

A modern "White Way" is now being installed on Central 
and Ouachita avenues. The Government has also illuminated 
the famous Bath House Row and Reservation. 

Hot Springs has a progressive mayor, board of alder- 
men and city officials, who endeavor to make the visitor wel- 
come and his visit both a benefit and a pleasure. The city 
roster is as follows : 

Dr. J. W. McClendon, Mayor; Jas. R. Housley, City Clerk; 
W. H. Watson. City Treasurer; Thos. A. Ellison, Chief of 
Police ; Dr. T. E. Sanders, City Health Officer ; Lloyd Tate, 
Chief of Fire Department; G. C. Smith. City Engineer; Leo. 
P. McLaughlin, City Attorney; G. P. Van Sickle. City Col- 
lector. Board of Aldermen : Tom J. Pettit, Robt. Cartney, 
Dave Burgaur, Wm. Borman. R. B. Sigman, J. Riggsby, Geo. 
P. Sheppard, J. H. Peden, Dr. John S. Wood, C. J. Led- 
widge, C. S. Williamson, Wm. McLaughlin. Board of Public 
Affairs : Dr. J. W. McClendon, Gus Strauss, George R. 
Housley. Board of Health; Dr. J. W. McClendon. Chairman; 
Dr. G. A. Hebert, President: Dr. W. T. Wootton, Secre- 
tary; Dr. L. R. Ellis, Dr. W. O. Forbes, Frank Schachleiter. 



A Manufacturing City 

Hot Springs is located in almost the center of Arkansas, a 
State that is at present advancing faster than any other in the 
South, on account of its many resources. Rich in its timber, 
coal, minerals and precious stones, it is none the less rich in 
the production of its soil. The great movement of manu- 
factories to locate near the supply of raw material has caused 
many to turn to Arkansas on account of her varied and un- 
developed resources. Her rivers offer cheap power and trans- 
portation. Hot Springs has at her door vast deposits of pot- 
tery clay, Ouachita oil and whetstone, also vast tracts of 
hardwood timber. With the completion of the proposed Gar- 
land Power Dam on the Ouachita River, six miles from the 
city. Hot Springs would offer still greater inducements to 
manufacturers to locate here — truly a "City of Many Possi- 
bilities."

Winning Counties at the State Fair, Hot Springs.

Cold Mineral Springs 

OT SPRINGS can boast not only of her famous Hot 
Springs, but several cold mineral springs in this vicinity 
are well patronized on account of their medicinal prop- 
erties. Visitors suffering from kidney and bladder trouble 
and the early stages of Bright's disease find that often best 
results are obtained when these waters are drunk in connec- 
tion with the baths. The Mountain Valley Springs is lo- 
cated twelve miles north of the city. The DeSoto Springs, 
on Central Avenue, has a handsome spring house and drink- 
ing pavilion. Other springs are the Potash Sulphur, Spring 
Lake, Ozark, Lithia, Waverly, Arsenic, Allen's, White Sul- 
phur, Thousand Dripping and Cutter's Cluster Springs. 

How to Reach Hot Springs 

Hot Springs is now reached by three railroads. The St. 
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern operates four daily pas- 
senger trains each way from St. Louis, Kansas City and Mem- 
phis, with through sleepers. The Chicago, Rock Island & 
Pacific has three trains each way from Memphis and the 
South with through sleepers. The Memphis, Dallas and Gulf 
Ry. just completed into Hot Springs from the west, operates 
two trains each way from Texarkana and Ashdown, Ark., 
with through sleepers over the Kansas City Southern and 
also makes connections with the Frisco Railway at Ashdown.

America's Favorite Athletic Training-Ground 

IfWTli rr SPRINGS lias Ijccome tlie favorite spring trainins- 
1 ■ I youiid for the various National and American League 
lUUI iiaseball clubs, and for many years the Pittsburg 
ami Huston American clubs have maintained regular training 
parks, and their high standing each year in the pennant race 
of their respective leagues is self-evidence that the players 
were in good physical condition when entering the race for 
baseball supremacy. 

The Pittsburg' park is located on Whittington Avenue,

end of the city. The Boston National (Braves) may also do 
their preliminary training here this year. The Indianapolis

Many good practise games are played in the spring be- 
tween visiting clubs which offer a high-class amusement to

the Major and Minor league ball clubs make annual visits to 
this city to take the baths and get in physical condition be-

New Imperial Bath House 

nUST twenty years ago the old Imperial Bath House 
was built and at its completion, and until it was re- 
cently torn down and the new Imperial Bath House 
built, it was the finest and best bath house in Hot Springs. 

The New Imperial Bath House has been built regardless 
of cost and strictly under the supervision and inspection of 
the U. S. Medical Director and the Department of the In- 
terior by and through the Superintendent of the U. S. Reser- 
vation at Hot Springs, and is one among the best constructed, 
finest and most superbly and scientifically equipped bath 
houses in America or Europe. 

Its construction is of cut stone, pressed brick and rein- 
forced concrete. All outside walls are lined with hollow 
brick, there being no wood surfaces except the narrow jamb 
for doors and windows — the doors being practically all 
chipped plate glass and brass surfaces. 

All floors are ceramic tile with cove and round corners — 
hospital regulation — joining the wainscoting, making it sani- 
tary and impossible to catch dust or dirt in the angles. 

The private dressing rooms are constructed entirely of 
marble and tile and one person has exclusive use of room. 

Dressing rooms for ladies are equipped with a mirror built 
in the tile wall, plate glass shelf, sanitary chair, hat and 
clothes hooks, and are on the second floor, being reached by 
three stairways or by an electric controlled elevator, carrying 
men and women separately in perfect privacy. 

The bath tubs are solid porcelain, of the latest design and 
the most expensive made, being porcelain enameled both in- 
side and outside, absolutely sanitary and are the only bath 
tubs of this quality used in any bath house in Hot Springs. 

The vapor bath rooms are found in connection with each 
bath room, have outside walls of Italian marble, and lined 
inside w'ith wire glass, with air space between glass and 
marble walls. 



No iron or steel cabinets or hot air cabinets are used by 
this house. 

The after-bath sweat room is of ceramic tile with windows 
six feet above floor line, equipped with lounges of all steel, 
white enamel baked finish, solid welded. 

The Hydrotherapy Department 

This bath house has the most complete, scientific and su- 
perb equipment of any bath house known, constructed of mar- 
ble, porcelain and tile, approved by the U. S. Government 
after inspection by the U. S. Medical Director. 




OfiBce and Grand Stairway.

All kninvn treatments in hydrotlieraptnitics arc given to 
both men and women imder supervision of a professor in 
charge, who will also give electric light bath, violet ray bath, 
electricity (galvanic or faradic) baths, sitz bath, Nauheim 
(champagne) bath identical with or said to be equal to the 
baths at Nauheim. Germany, the shower, needle, spinal and 
liver baths and shampoo treatment. 

Heat and ventilation is of the highest standard known and 
installed under plans furnished by the most noted and suc- 
cessful engineers in the United States, first having been ap- 
proved by the V. S. Government. 



The air is clianged entirely in each room every fifteen min- 
utes, and the fresh cold air is drawn in from .screened open- 
ings at the top of one of the highest towers of the house. 

The system is so perfect that the changing currents of 
pure fresh hot air are not appreciable, and as an evidence of 
this the visitor will note the rooms are entirely free from 
any odors peculiar to bathing establishments. 

The hot water sprmg from which the water is received 
for use is itself nine feet under the surface of the mountain- 
side, entirely covered, so all gases and heat are conhned, and 
is tapped by a galvanized insulated water pipe and reaches 
our air-tight insulated steel tank by gravity at IJ5° F. 




Hydro therapeutic Department. 



I:.^l,en,U B.ith Room. 



This water has to be cooled for bathing. 

This is an important condition to accomplish in order to 
give the greatest curative benefits to the hather, and to keep 
the water free from contamination, free of any dust, air germs 
or insects carried in the air, but greater than all to confine the 
radio-activity due to dissolved radium (a. gas) and other gases 
which are the principal curative and healing agencies in this 
water. 

We cool this water without exposing it to the air or light, 
and confine and retain all these gases just the same as it runs 
out of the spring, until it enters the bath tub. 

Our water tanks are \\ ater sealed, air tight. W'e cool the 
water by a system of evaporating the heat from the water, tak- 
ing the water from the hot water tank, passing it through this 
system into the cold water tanks, reducing the heat to 85° 1'". 
during the hottest summer weather and without at any time 
being exposed to the atmosphere. 




Ladies' Dressing Booms. 

In the early history of Hot Springs, bathing in these waters 
was all done in an open pool, where the spring emptied directly 
into the pool, with water of a temperature to permit bathing in, 
and the most wonderful and greatest average of cures was made 
during this period. \\'hy ? Because the water contained all 
the gases and curative qualities, and the bather got immediate 
direct action of same. 

Our bath house gives bathers the same conditions. 

Sanitary steel enamel cases are furnished each person in 
which to keep robe, towels and bath outfits separate. All bath 
outfits or accessories used in taking the bath are thoroughly 
sterilized each day after use. 

There are no rugs, carpets or other floor coverings, nor up- 
holstered furniture, and all floors are graded to drain to a sani- 
tary trap, making it possible to flood with water and flush the 
entire building.

The Maurice Baths. 



The Maurice Baths 

I^Sl ANITATIOX and cleanliness are the most important 
■^ features to consider in selecting your bath house. The 
™JI Maurice is the most complete sanitary bathing estab- 
lishment in the world, and em- 
bodies the latest scientific ideas 
in sanitation and hygiene with- 
out sacrificing the comforts 
and conveniences of a luxurious 
bath. 

The Maurice offers you these 
distinctive features: 250 large, 
roomy, enamel steel dressing 
rooms for men and 50 for women. 
Separate elevators, insuring abso- 
lute privacy. No carpets, dra- 
pe r y or upholstered furniture 
used. All furniture is white 
enameled steel ; 75 private rest 
rooms furnished with a comfort- 
able couch where one can have all 
the privacy and comforts of a 
home. A Real Sun Parlor. The 
sun's glare through the massive 
glass dome is subdued by amber 
glass panels overhead, the walls of 
Cean stone, the floor of red Scotch 
tile. The soft amber glow is very 
beneficial and restful for those suffering from nervous 
troubles. The bath tubs are of solid porcelain, made especially 
for the Maurice, being of extra large size. Every bath room 
has individual vapor, shower and douche, giving you all the 
requisites of the bath in the privacy of the bath room. 

After vour bath von retire to a bathing lounge, a room

40 X 40 ft., where the air is dry, fresh and clean. It is a 
scientific fact that germs will live and travel in moist air in- 
definitely, while in dry air they will not, consequently the 
Maurice has supplied a bathing lounge entirely separate 
from the bath room, following the European custom in this 
feature. You are not inlialing the 
exhalations of hundreds of sick 
patients taking baths as is the 
case where you bathe and sweat 
in the same room. The same 
idea is carried out in our hot 
room, the air being dry and 
clean and changed every ten min- 
utes. 

Adjoining the bathing lounge 
is a complete hydrotherapy de- 
]iartment. Exercise is also an im- 
jiortant factor in your cure. We 
liave two large gymnasiums, one 
for men and one for ivomen, 
which are equipped with the lat- 
est appliances. The ventilating 
■system is of the most modern 
type, the air being filtered and 
warmed before using. Six hun- 
dred cubic feet per minute insure 
a complete change of air in every 
department every ten minutes. 
A vacuum cleaning system docs

Buckstaff Baths 



nHIS new bath house was completed two years ago, at a cost of 
$125,000, and is one of tlie most complete and luxurious bath- 
ing establishments in the United States. Several tourists who 
I have visited most of the European resorts have said that al- 

thougli Europe has larger bath houses, there is not one that has as 
many modern conveniences or sanitary features as the Buckstaff. 

When one realizes that the temperature of the water is perhaps the 
most essential feature of the Hot Springs baths, it will be conceived 
liow thoroughly the designers of this bathing palace have studied the 
science of giving a therapeutic bath. 

But the regular hot water bath is only one of tlie splendid phases of 
the magnificent hydrotherapeutic equipment of the Buckstaff. Every 
modern method of hot water treatment, and all the accumulated appa- 
ratus for giving hydrotherapy effectively and successfully, have been 
included in the service of the Buckstaff. The walls of the bath halls 
are marble to the ceiling, marble wainscoting in all other rooms, solid

porcelain plumbing fixtures, tile floors. The air throughout 
the building is changed every fifteen minutes, the tempera- 
ture in each room is under thermostatic control and all 
rooms are outside rooms, tluis affording plenty of sunlight. 
Connecting with each bathing department are rooms for mas- 
sage and chiropody. On the third floor are reading and 
writing rooms, beauty parlors, sun porches and a parlor. 

The entire force of the Buckstaff is composed of ex- 
perienced WHITE persons and the service is unexcelled- The 
price for twenty-one baths is $13, including attendant's fees. 
If you ever visit the World's Greatest Health Resort, do not 
fail to inspect this bathing palace. An illustrated and de- 
scriptive booklet mailed upon request.

Fordyce Bath House 



0FTER an extensive visit to the famous foreign baths, and 
viewing with much interest the facihties for giving baths 

at the various American resorts, including the recently 

constructed modern establishments at Hot Springs, Ark., Col. 
S. W. Fordyce decided to build a bath house to surpass all 
the others and to be the "Best Bath House in the World." 
Beginning on the first of January, 1914, the old Palace Bath 
House was torn down, and on the site has been erected the 
magnificent Fordyce. The building is designed in the Span- 
ish Renaissance style of architecture, which is rich in sculp- 
ture and carving, and is nearly twice as large as any other bath 
house in Hot Springs. It contains every improvement and device 
known to modern science for the administration of the baths. 
No money or skill has been spared to make this establish- 
ment the most practical, complete and luxurious bath house 
in the world. The equipment includes every form of ap- 
paratus for giving hydrotherapy (water treatment), and in 
addition extensive and complete departments for giving elec- 
trical and mechanical treatments, including massage and 
Swedish movements, medical gymnastics, etc., in connection 
with the general natural hot water baths. Besides the reg- 



ular bath-house features, this establishment furnishes, free 
of charge, a library, a music and assembly room 100 feet long, 
private parlors for ladies and gentlemen, two bowling alleys, 
the largest gymnasium in the city and a roof garden, contain- 
ing 45.000 square feet, for taking the sun baths. 

The spring that supplies the Fordyce with water was de- 
veloped while excavating the basement, and thousands of gal- 
lons of hot water come boiling from the earth every hour. 
Here visitors can see and drink the water as it comes from 
the ground in its native state. 

Space prevents a detailed description of the various de- 
partments, but upon application the management will furnish 
a beautiful, illustrated booklet containing full information of 
this wonderful bath house. Jno. F. Manier, who for four- 
teen years conducted the Palace Bath House, is the manager. 
His extensive experience in this line of business has enabled 
him to secure the very best staff of attendants. Corres- 
pondence solicited. Sightseers welcome.

the new house should meet every requirement for administering

The Arlington Hotel 



jjHE Arlington is situated upon the Northwest corner of Hot 
Springs Mountain, and enjoys the privilege of being the only 
hotel on the Government Reservation. Of this distinction the 
^_^__ owners are justly proud, but apart from this the Arlington is 
splendidly located, being on Central Avenue, at the corner of Fountain 
Street, which ftreet forms the world-renowned "Happy Hollow." 
This hotel is conducted only on the American plan, and is open through- 
out tlie entire year. 

Six hundred thousand dollars were expended on the building and 
equipment of the Arlington, and it is justly known as a high-class, 
modern hotel, one which caters to the most discriminating of resort 
patronage. There are more than three hundred guest rooms, many 
of them with private bath; the water for all of which baths is drawn 
from the mineral springs on the Government Reservation. The hotel 
is five stories in height; constructed of brick, stone and steel, and has 
a total frontage of 650 feet. An unusually broad veranda or colonnade 
extends the entire length of the building, affording an excellent view of 
Central Avenue and the Government promenade. Every hall of each 
floor of the Arlington is connected with the beautiful Government Park, 
in the rear of the hotel, by steel bridges. 

For the comfort, convenience and pleasure of its guests, the Ar- 
lington is provided with large lobby, parlors, writing rooms, rest 
rooms, etc. Concerts three times daily — morning, afternoon and eve- 
ning — are given by the Arlington Orchestra in the main rotunda. 
Formal balls and informal dances are given each week in the beautiful 
ball room, and these, together with card parties, afternoon teas in the 
grills, etc., make perfect the gay side of this hotel. A handsomely 
appointed Metropolitan grill is conducted entirely on the a la carte 
plan, in which white employees are used throuehout and where the 
service and cuisine is equal to that in our Northern and Eastern 
cities. ^lusic by a special Italian orchestra is rendered throughout 
the afternoon and evening, A new Sun Parlor and rest room at the 
southeast corner of the main building has been added. This room is 
beautifully located, commanding a sweeping view of the Government 
Park, promenade and Central Avenue. It is constructed of glass, 
has maple floor, finished throughout in tan and green shades and fur- 
nished entirely with wicker furniture. No sweeter or more restful 
room can be found anywhere than the Arlington Sun Parlor. 

Special attention is called to the beautiful eighteen-hole Golf 
Course, which is located on the Malvern Road, two miles from the 
hotel. This is one of the most beautiful golf courses in this country, 
and is giving the most perfect satisfaction to all classes of players. 
The golf course is reached by private automobile service from the 
Arlington, which service is conducted entirely for the benefit of the 
guests of the hotel, and is operated on regular schedule. 



The Arlington Baths 

Fifty thousand dollars have been expended during the past summer 
and fall in entirely rebuilding and refurnishing the Arlington Baths 
in compliance with the latest Government plans and regulations. It 
is now the equal in comfort, convenience and beauty of any bathing 
establishment in this country or Europe. With its marble and tile con- 
struction, it is spotless white throughout; is furnished with solid porce- 
lain tubs and the very latest models in showers, douches; marble 
vapor and hot air cabinets; is heated and ventilated throughout by 
the latest automatic system approved by the Interior Department. A 
special Hydrotherapeutic Room has been added, where these baths are 
given under the direction of a graduate pupil of hydrotherapy. In 
this room every convenience possible has been placed for the giving 
of the hydrotherapeutic baths in their latest and best form. In fact, 
entirely throughout the Arlington baths are as perfect and up-to-date 
as it is possible to make them, A new Otis elevator of latest con- 
struction connects at the Southern end of the building every floor of 
the hotel witli both the ladies' and gentlemen's departments. This ele- 
vator is exclusively for the use of bathers.

The Eastman Hotel and Bath House 

nHIS is the largest hotel at Hot Springs, and though it is open 
only through the busy season, there have been several years 
when the better class of visitors could not have been accom- 
modated but for the commodious Eastman. It has 520 guests' 

rowms. The house is so constructed — in the shape of an L — 'that all 
of the rooms are front rooms, facing either one of the four streets 
which surround it or the open court, which is beautifully shaded by 
lofty forest trees; and from the rooms facing it a commanding view is 
to be had of the Army and Navy Hospital, the Hot Springs and West 
Mountain, and the Valley of Hot Springs. All of these views and the 
rest of the city and adjacent mountains are seen to the best advantage 
from tlie lofty observatory, nearly 200 feet high. Most of the rooms 
have connecting doors, so they can be arranged for single or in suites, 
and many are equipped with private bath rooms and toilets. 

The main halls, twelve feet wide, extend through the center of the 
entire building, each forming a grand promenade 675 feet long. 

No fire is ever lighted in the house, except in the magnificent fire- 
places in the parlors and lobby, and in the kitchen. The building is 
heated throughout by steam and lighted by electricity, both arc and 
incandescent systems being used, and the power furnishing them is in 
another building on the opposite side of the street. 

The public rooms of the Eastman consist of a grrand parlor, ball 
room, ladies' reading rooms, billiard room, gentlemen's reading and 
writing room, dining-hall and ordinary — all of generous dimensions — 
and a superb lobby, containing telegraph office, local and long distance 
telephones, news and cigar stands, stenographer's desk and all other 
conveniences. Here a superb orchestra gives three daily concerts and 
also provides music nightly for dancing in the grand ball room ad- 
joining. 

The service throughout, at the Eastman, is unexcelled, and the 
cuisine is of the highest excellence. 

Rates: American plan, $21 per week and upward. European plan, 
$2 per day and upward. 

The Eastman Baths 

The Eastman Bath House this fall has been entirely rebuilt, with 
the exception of the outer walls. New tile floors and solid marble 
partitions have been added to both the ladies* and gentlemen's bathing 
departments. The bath rooms are very large, and most of them have

the marble vapor cabinets. The very latest Jn electric-light cabinets 
and shower bath equipments has been installed. A complete hy- 
drotherapy department is included and every modern method of 
hot water treatment and all the accumulated apparatus for giving 
hydrotherapy effectively and successfully have been included in the 
service of the Eastman Baths, which now rank with the finest bathing 
establishments in America. The Bath House contains forty bath rooms, 
equipped with solid porcelain bath tubs. These are connected with 
cooling rooms and parlors, and all have been refurnished throughout. 
The Bath House is connected with the Hotel by a steam-heated pas- 
sageway, so guests can go direct from their rooms in their bathrobes 
without danger of taking cold. The hot water used in this Bath House 
is supplied by the Government and is the same as all the other bath 
houses receive and is under the rules and regulations of the Interior

Majestic Hotel and Bath House 

HIS hotel, built of brick and stone, is the newest of the 
large hotels of Hot Springs. Every floor is practically 
a ground floor, as each floor opens out upon the moun- 
tainside, thus minimizing the danger to life and property in 
case of fire. There is not an inside room in the building. All 
are delightfully cool in summer and comfortably warm in 
winter, and command a good view of the "Valley of the 
Vapors." All the apartments are well and completely fur- 
nished, and arranged to be used single or en suite. Every 
room is supplied with hot and cold running water, steam heat, 
electric and gas light, and local and long distance telephone. 
Sixty-five of the largest rooms have private bath and toilet 
in connection, in addition to the conveniences named above. 
The grand dining room is finished in cherry, and is airy, well- 
lighted, and conveniently reached from any room in the hotel. 
It has a comfortable seating capacity of three hundred and 
sixty persons. 

The bill of fare is changed daily, and consists of the best 
the market affords. A unique and an appreciable feature of 
the hotel is that the bath house, where the hot mineral water 
baths are given, is located upstairs, and has no public street 
entrance, but is easily reached from any room in the hotel by 
way of stairs or elevator ; thus guests may go to the bath 
house in robes and slippers, and after the bath, return to their 
rooms to rest before dressing, which is always advisable. In 
this way one avoids the danger of taking cold by going into 



the outer air too soon after the bath, as well as the fatigue 
attending a hot bath. The water used in the bath house comes 
directly from the Hot Springs Reservation. 

During the past year the bath house has been entirely re- 
modeled to conform with the latest ideas in bath house equip- 
ment as used in this country and Europe. The floors and 
walls have been set with marble tiling, and new fixtures and 
appliances installed, suitable for giving a Hot Springs mineral 
water bath according to any individual desire or ph}'5ician"s 
prescription. Included in the equipment are two complete 
hydrotherapeutic rooms. An entirely new heating and ven- 
tilating system has been installed, which changes and heats 
the air in each and every room every ten minutes, and this, 
with the other improvements, makes the MAJESTIC BATH 
HOUSE the most complete in its appointments and sanitary 
condition of any bath house operated in connection with a 
hotel in Hot Springs, and the equal of any bath house in 
Bath House Row, or in the city. 

The Majestic Hotel is a most popular family resort and 
special rates are made for families and parties, and it is open 
for guests the entire year. It is managed by experienced 
people whose aim at all times is to look after the welfare and 
comfort of the guests. 

Any further information desired in regard to the hotel or 
Hot Springs will be cheerfully furnished upon application.

The St. Joseph Infirmary 



D 



HE St. Joseph Infirmary, conducted 
bv the Sisters of Mercy, was es- 
tablished in this city in 1888. With 
the passing years and with the 
number of its patients increasing, it be- 
came imperative to provide more extensive 
quarters in order that the Sisters might 
be better able to cope with the great work 
which they had in hand; consequently, in 
1903, the present main building, with its 
handsome bath house, was constructed, 
with every modern convenience. 

The Bath House was built under the 
supervision of the U. S. Government, and 
the Hot Springs' waters were, by permis- 
sion of the Department of the Interior, 
piped from the Reservation to this bath 
house. All baths given in the Hot Springs 
waters are under the regulation of the gov- 
ernment. 

The main building is constructed of brick 
and stone, the interior being finished in 
oak and marble, with tile floors. 

A training-school for nurses is conducted 
by the Sisters and a large class of trained 
nurses is maintained. 

The management of the Infirmary is ably 
assisted by a corps of most efficient sur- 
geons, physicians and specialists. 

The rates are $15 to $35 per week, ac- 
cording to accommodations.
